Freewing 90mm F-22 Raptor - Official Thread

Depending on age, some people are unable to think critically. They need to be led around by the nose on everything in life. This is why a lot of people like that will never make it as pilots. And thank God some only try to fly the models. Can you imagine the mess we'd have if they were ever allowed to become real pilots?

Well, I been called worse.

[SanExup]

rifleman_btx Book CG!!!🤯That's bold! I'm kidding, sort of.

[rifleman_btx]

Crap man, do what I do, slap a pack in and hope for the best! Lol j/k. I actually check balance all the time, on nearly every flight. Jets are alittle more interesting, but I found just use the book cg for the maiden then adjust gradually from there to your flight preference. Hasn't failed me yet.

Maybe you should read the way they answered the post. Take away the sarcastic BS answers & we wouldn't be having this conversation. And did you ever stop & think that maybe, just maybe, that some others may have some new replies & haven't posted about it yet? Is there any reason that instead of being a jerk, that the initial reply couldn't have said, this is the way that I've set up my plane & left it at that?

Maybe you'd get a more sympathetic response if you didn't call those who tried to teach you how to find information for yourself "idiots", "jerks" and "asses".

Some people just want the answer ----- NOW. They want that fish for the day. Some people appreciate being shown how to find the answer and thus, can feed themselves in future. They are too lazy or impatient to learn how to fish or they don't want to learn how to fish or they think they already know how to fish and get insulted when someone tries to show them the way. Then there are the teachers ...................... Some like to teach at grade school level while others like to teach at university level to help people become more independant and learn on their own. You wanna be a baby sitter or a guide dog? Personally, I'd rather know how to find stuff out by myself, particularly when that "stuff" is already out there and I'd rather show others how they can do same. Admittedly, some are not very receptive to this kind of response and get quite abrasive, especially "online". I have little patience for these.

Exactly. There are all sorts of different opinions on what works from nose heavier than book to way way way aft of the book. A search would bring up all the different spots and their reasoning and results. I then answered the specific question of will the book CG work.

His answers have told me if he asks another questions, I WILL NOT ANSWER IT!

That said it's great he did select a CG and did fly it. I wonder what he set his CG at, if he checks it gear up or down, where he puts his battery, what brand it is and is he flying it on some open source radio.

Well, I can't believe I'm wading into this bathroom wall meeting of the minds...but I just wanted to point out that Evan initially gave you the best answer to your question. He showed you that you could find the answer and other answers to other common questions faster by searching. And that by searching you might actually find the best answer. And he even said he wasn't trying to be a smart arse. Your response sounded a little biting. Which brought in responses from the other fishermen. 😂
We are all here to get help and give help. And some threads have many pages of the same question about CG. Even to the point that it clouds the clear answer. But this forum is a great source of information, just sometimes too much information. 😁

So you are too lazy to look up an answer you KNOW has been answered previously, but other people are jerks for agreeing with you.

Congrats.

Yes, she got balanced. This is the landing on it's 7th flight.

[kallend]

No. I've been ignoring you idiots. Is there some reason that you can't help someone without being an ass? Do you answer everyone like you have? So what if there are "redundant" questions. If someone asked me for help, I wouldn't hesitate to just answer without being a jerk like you're being.

Hey, welcome back! Did you get it balanced? Fly it? Or am I being too friendly?

Doubtful...

Maybe he's happy with getting one fish. Perhaps he's gone to learn how to fish?

[xviper]

Doesn't matter he hasn't been back...

Then why give a “smart arse” answer? Wouldn’t it be more productive to just give an answer to the question?

No, it just encourages more redundant questions and tempts people to be lazy expecting others to do things for them.

Here's the slow-mo version (easier to see what I'm doing):
